Our Network & Route Map

Where East Midlands Trains Operates

We operate two types of services; long distance services to and from London St Pancras and our regional services. Our regional services link the towns and cities of the East Midlands, plus Central and Northern England – from Skegness, Norwich and Peterborough in the East, to Manchester and Liverpool in the West. Find out more about where our network can take you with our Route Map below:

With five fast trains to and from London St Pancras every hour, we offers great connections between London and key destinations throughout the East Midlands, including trains to Sheffield, Nottingham, Derby, East Midlands Parkway and Leicester. Trains to London are fast and frequent. Sheffield to London services take from just 2 hours 7 minutes. All London services are refurbished and have First Class carriages, where we offer complimentary refreshments and at-seat dining during the week. WiFi is available on all services to and from London, free for First Class passengers and from only £4 in Standard Class.

Travelling to Europe via train is simple when you travel with East Midlands Trains. Simply board one of our many services to London St Pancras and once you arrive at the station, you will be just steps away from the Eurostar Check In Desk. Plus, with our early trains from Leicester, as well as Wellingborough and Kettering, you can now arrive by train to London St Pancras in time to catch the first Eurostar of the day.

If you're looking to continue your journey by rail once you arrive in London, make sure to take a look at our partners, Trainseurope who offer train tickets for destinations such as Europe, USA, Canada and more, or visit Interail where you can purchase European rail passes for the duration of your trip.

If you are travelling via plane we have connections to three UK airports including, East Midlands Parkway for East Midlands Airport, Liverpool South Parkway for John Lennon Airport, and Luton Airport Parkway.

Penalty Fares

We operate a Penalty Fare scheme across the network, this means that anyone travelling without a valid ticket is likely to face a charge. To avoid a penalty fare, we advise you to buy your tickets before travelling, as many stations now fall within the penalty fare zone, meaning tickets cannot be bought on board the train.
